Custom Parameters

One of TouchDesigner’s most powerful features is the ability to add your own parameters to any Component.

How to Create

1. Right-click on a Component (like a Base COMP).
2. Select Customize Component.
3. Type a name and click Add Parameter.
4. Choose the type (Float, Int, Toggle, Menu, etc.).

Why use them?

• Create clean “Master Control” panels for your project.
• Expose only the settings you need without digging into deep networks.
• Use Python expressions like parent().par.MyCustomParameter inside your child nodes.
